After leaving Bombay Beach, we headed to Salvation Mountain. Salvation Mountain is located a few miles away from The Salton Sea near Slab City. A man named Leonard Knight built the mountain using adobe, straw, and paint. The colorful mountain features Bible verses. Leonard Knight passed away in 2014.

Today is going to be an interesting day! We are going to Bombay Beach and the Salton Sea. You might have not heard of these areas before. Honestly, I hadn't either until not too long ago. Due to an engineering mistake, water from the Colorado River flowed into the desert area. Over time, the new lake increased in salinity. Before this was all realized, the area built up and Bombay Beach became a hotspot for celebrities and families alike. A beach in the middle of the desert! Then, disaster struck and the salinity killed thousands upon thousands of fish. The vacation destination was no more. Many families who resided in the area left. Some remained, though, and others moved in due to the cheap land. A lot of the area looks like it was left in a time machine.

We are heading to the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, California. Our reason for visiting is you can pay an extra fee (at the time of our visit, there is a separate fee for each animal) to meet and have your picture taken with certain animals.

Since we were near the area, we decided to head to Industry, California. Why? It is home to a fake McDonald's. Really.
It looks completely real. One tell-tale sign is the fence around the "store". This store is McDonald's production store. They use it to film commercials! Chances are if you have ever seen a McDonald's commercial, it was filmed here.
